ARCHIVED - Casting for Star Wars: Episode VII

I think Daniel Day-Lewis as Han Solo and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Leia would be spot on.
I'm not sure about Luke yet, but if Boba Fett returns he might as well be played by Temuera Morrison and have Jeremy Bulloch give him advice on Boba's body language outside of action scenes.
Even though I'm not a fan of Tim Burton, he probably could work on costume designs. Dark, weird etc. Of course the previous crew is free to return as well.
I think David Fincher would be a good director. He worked at ILM, as a cameraman on Episode VI as his first job I think.
I read somewhere that he also would have liked to direct Revenge of the Sith.
As for the soundtrack, Brian Tyler might be able to pull of something worthy.
What are your suggestions?

He's always watching, always cautious and observant.[/quote]
Except for the guy behind him with a poll the size of a Star Destroyer. [b]:P[/b][/quote]
-blam!- ROTJ changed the whole mature tone Empire had set and ruined everything with it's teddy bears, Boba's inexcusable fail, terrible dialogue and horrible, useless, exposition.
Not to mention Solo's transformation from a braggart, pirate and all-around scoundrel to a good-hearted, slack-jawed simp whose comments and actions are almost exclusively played for laughs.
;_;
I actually prefer Revenge of the Sith to that movie.

How do you give body language advice for a character that just stood there for total of 5 minutes?

Your inner pleb is showing. Due to the fact that Boba Fett wears a helmet all the time, Jeremy Bulloch used body language as a way to act out the character of Boba Fett. He has smooth and confident, but careful movement, he's always watching, always cautious and observant. He is the danger, yet you can sense that danger follows him.
If he walked and talked like a Stormtrooper, he would only be half as cool.

Im sorry guys but I think Boba Fett should play a larger roll.[/quote]
He most definitely should.
If not, at least give me a tactical action-RPG video game where I can play as him.
1313 mite b cool. I don't want to derail the topic with video games though.

I want a new team, but with cameos from the original actors. C3PO and R2 could play a big part but not be part of the team. I want a new villian. You can make him/her EXACTLY like Palpatine, just dont bring him back. Also no off screen character deaths from the last films. Maybe make Luke the "Obi-Wan" of the movies or make Darth Vader appear as a Ghost.
Im sorry guys but I think Boba Fett should play a larger roll.

I hope they cast the original actors in their roles and set the films 20+ years after ROTJ.[/quote]This.
[quote]We should have new protagonists. Maybe Han and Leia's kids? Luke's kids? Since they're apparantly disregarding the EU, anything is possible.[/quote] Is there a source for that? I hope its true, post trilogy EU is a mess. The only thing I like about it are the Yuzaang Vong (spelling?) as they were actually original.

I just don't want Disney to ruin it.[/quote]
Same here! I still hope for it though.[/quote]
Considering they haven't ruined Marvel, I'm not concerned at all actually.

It will be interesting to see if they will follow the extended universe up or not.

I think the main protagonists should be new and relatively unknown.
I wouldn't mind some cameos from the original gangsters though.[/quote]
Cameos are cool.

>Implying Fincher would even consider directing this movie[/quote]
Actually I believe he mentioned that he's interested. Fincher is one of the names being thrown around right now.

Because it's not just a matter of finding someone who looks like Carrie Fisher. They need to fit the role.
I don't even see much of a resemblance in any case.[/quote]
I hear ya. Maybe the comparison was bad, but I wouldn't completely dismiss her yet.
